Does anyone run VNC with 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64)?

[Greg Lane]

G'day everyone,

I recently had to replace a disk and took the opportunity to 
upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable.  I also changed from the 
32-bit to the 64-bit version.  I have a dual Opteron server. 

VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine.
The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc 
directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. 
So in what sense does it fail....

If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen.
Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like 
xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't.

130>~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9
IceWM: using /home/xxxxxx/.icewm for private configuration files
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  9
  Current serial number in output stream:  10

131>~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Value in failed request:  0x21
  Serial number of failed request:  41
  Current serial number in output stream:  49

If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in 
the vnc log file.  I was only running them interactively above 
to troubleshoot it.  Google has failed me for once, so I seek 
your experience and advice...
